REU Site: Center for Neural Science Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP)

REU Site奖授予纽约大学华盛顿广场校区，位于纽约州纽约市，将在2020-2022年夏季期间支持10名学生进行为期10周的培训。预计总共有30名学生将来自神经科学研究机会有限的学校或代表不足的群体，包括上大学的第一代人。该计划将包括来自大专或GPA不高的学生，但带有推荐信和个人陈述，显示出自我导向的、好奇心强的头脑。学生将学习神经科学研究是如何设计和进行的。他们将通过每周的书面作业练习撰写科学研究论文和研究提案。所有学生都将接受口头陈述技能的指导，引导他们在科学会议上展示他们的研究活动。学生们将通过每周与研究导师的小组午餐会，见证在科学中成长的道路的多样性。将通过SALG Urssa在线工具对该方案进行评估。项目结束后，将对学生进行跟踪，以确定他们的职业道路。REU网站的科学重点是神经科学。学生将被安排在纽约大学华盛顿广场校区神经科学中心内的实验室之一。几乎所有的CNS教师导师都与其他系有联合预约，包括心理学、生物学、经济学、数据科学、纽约大学库兰特数学科学研究所、内森·克莱恩精神病学研究所等。这些合作研究活动将让学生一瞥神经科学研究的高度协作性和社会相关性，向他们展示神经科学研究的广泛影响。所有学生每周都将接受道德/负责任的研究行为方面的面对面培训。学生启动在线申请流程(目前通过在https://www.nsfreu.org).注册获得NSF_REU IDNSF-REU的10名参与者将从300人的申请者池中，由PI、共同PI和研究导师共同挑选。有关该计划的更多信息，请访问http://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/departments/cns/UndergraduateProgram/summer-research-program.html或通过以下方式与PI联系：SurpInfo@cns.nyu.edu.该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This REU Site Award to New York University Washington Square Campus, located in New York City, NY, will support the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2020-2022. It is anticipated that a total of 30 students will be from schools with limited neuroscience research opportunities or from an under-represented group, including first generations to attend college. The program will include students from junior colleges or with marginal GPAs but with recommendation letters and personal statements revealing self-directed, inquisitive minds. Students will learn how neuroscience research is designed and conducted. They will practice writing their scientific research paper and research proposal through weekly written assignments. All students will be coached on oral presentation skills, leading them to present their research activities at scientific conferences. Students will witness the diversity of paths available for growing up in science through small weekly group luncheons with research mentors. Assessment of the program will be done through the online SALG URSSA tool. Students will be tracked after the program in order to determine their career paths.The scientific focus of the REU-Site is neural science. Students will be placed in one of the laboratories that are within Center for Neural Science of NYU Washington Square Campus. Almost all CNS faculty mentors have joint appointments with other departments, encompassing Psychology, Biology, Economics, Data Science, NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research, and others These collaborative research activities will provide students with the glimpse of the highly synergistic nature and societal relevance of neuroscience research, demonstrating to them the Broad Impact of neuroscience research. All students will receive weekly in-person training in ethics/responsible conduct of research. Students initiate the online application process (currently by obtaining an NSF_REU ID by registering at https://www.nsfreu.org). The ten NSF-REU participants, from an applicant pool of 300, will be selected jointly by the PI, co-PI, and research mentors. More information about the program is available by visiting http://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/departments/cns/UndergraduateProgram/summer-research-program.html or by contacting the PI at surpinfo@cns.nyu.edu.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
